Okur signs with Jazz

07.27.2004

Salt Lake City, UT (Basketball News) - Forward Mehmet Okur signed with the Jazz on Tuesday after the Detroit Pistons declined to match Utah’s reported six- year, $50 million offer.

The 25-year-old Okur played 71 regular-season games for the world champion Pistons last season and averaged 9.6 points and 5.9 rebounds per outing. His numbers dropped off in the postseason, however, as he averaged only 3.7 points and 2.8 boards over 22 contests.

The 6-11 Okur was originally selected by Detroit in the second round (38th pick overall) of the 2001 NBA Draft. In 143 career regular-season games, he has averaged 8.2 points and 5.3 rebounds per contest.
